Letitia Baldwin is a freelance writer from Maine.
The sea is still and the sky battleship gray. One summer morning,
that's the scene from an old boathouse hugging the shore in a coastal
Maine town.
Inside the boathouse -- a shingled cottage -- more than a dozen
women of all ages are clustered around a table facing a massive,
granite fireplace.
A model of a green-hulled Friendship sloop graces the mantel.
Wooden oars and masts hang in the weathered rafters. A wood smell
fills the air.
Clasping mugs of coffee, clad in shorts and jeans, the women are
watching a toy-size sailboat glide across the table. As they hear
how to land a craft, some are taking notes while others are tying
nautical knots.
